Hey there’s nothing wrong with “fun” and “love” :-). Heck, sometimes they can even go together ;-).

What’s interesting about this mix is that more than others of yours with which I am familiar, there is an element of classical minimalism (Glass, Reich, perhaps Riley as well) which is not a bad thing in my book. I think it is the tempo of the phrase that is repeated that pushes my imagination in that direction.

The found sounds you mix in are like those treats that you can get blended into ice cream at places like Coldstone Creamery where I live, and that began with Steve’s Ice Cream out of Boston back in the eighties. Things like broken up candy bars, cookies, even cake…

Another thought that came to mind was did PDQ Bach ever record an homage to the minimalists because if he did it might have sounded a little like this, but with a few familiar melodic phrases blended in as well.

Your notes took longer to read than listening to the piece I think, and I haven’t followed your links yet, and honestly, that’s not a bad thing either. Thanks for your incredibly thoughtful and thought provoking stuff, hope the weekend gives you a chance to wind down.

Haha, this one’s so cool ! As if I’m back in my childhood, accidentally being locked up in a toystore, spending the whole night there, switching on all switches and feeling as happy as a child can feel…

wow, the first thing i thought when i heard this was NES, so huge props for that! what a fun and pleasant ride that was. very cool stuff!
